Statement
Celina Jure´s work takes multiple forms (installations, performance, sculptures and paintings) with the exhibition as a pretext for deploying not mere pieces of art, but a complete way of living. Her practice skits from one medium to the other, transitioning effortlessly from the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional worlds. She is known for her large-scale paintings on paper. Predominantly abstract and beside their apparent spontaneity, they result in scenic environments. They underline and produce a vivid space for quiet and conjetural contemplation, in which the spectator is introduced as a kind of intruder. In the same direction, her sculptures in handcrafted ceramic explore the link between bodies and space, and between chaos and equilibrium, evoking a sense of both imminence and uncertainty.
